It's taken 14 months and 83 pounds, but I am now officially a normal BMI.

Feel very happy about this, as I'm not overweight for the first time in my entire life. I do still want to lose a bit more, but not too much now, and I'm starting to build up my wardrobe now that I know approximately what size I am going to be.

I am sorry but I don't have any photos that are recent, but I will probably take some in the next week or so.

    Congrats! I know they say it's not the most accurate of guides, but just losing the labels help eh!! I'm really keen to be 'overweight'. lol

    Well done on your weight loss. :)
